Romancing God by Ramon Lull

Romancing God by Ramon Lull

A prolific writer, scholar, philosopher, and theologian, Lull traveled throughout Italy, Africa, and France with a burning desire to inspire conversion through education and instruction, enabling people to defend their faith without violence. The excerpts in this volume were written expressly to the faithful of Rome.

Romancing God offers a glimpse into the life of a devoted soul conversing with his Creator, a learned man finding the meaning of life through his own search and discovery of God's love. Lull's timeless wisdom and guidance, edited for the modern reader by Henry L. Carrigan, Jr., are as relevant today as they were 700 years ago.

Ramon Llull (1232 - 1315) was a Majorcan mystic known by many names and for many things. His name is often Anglicized as Raymond Lully or Raymond Lull; and Latinized as Raimundus or Raymundus Lullus or Lullius. He is also famously referred to as Doctor Illuminatus. Llull was a philosopher, logician, poet, theologian, Franciscan tertiary, and is credited with writing the first major work of Catalan literature. He is also considered a pioneer of computation theory, especially as we know of his influence on Leibniz. Within the Franciscan Order he is honored as a martyr. He was beatified in 1847 by Pope Pius IX. Azafran Books was established with a clear aim in mind - to make available a selection of classic books for today's contemporary readers. The books in our catalogue have been selected from a broad range of themes; such as philosophy (occidental & oriental), mysticism & magic, new thought, religion & spirituality, folktales, mythology, cult fiction, poetry, social commentary, and psychology. Yet they all have a common theme, or purpose - to stimulate our thinking and modes of perception. For this reason, they have been chosen to be re-published and re-presented to the modern reader. Azafran Books have been re-edited, formatted, and presented with new design work - they are NOT scanned copies with original errors. Our books have been carefully re-published to the highest of standards - by a team of dedicated real people - not an algorithm! Our aim at Azafran Books is to bring a range of stimulating books, many of them largely forgotten, to the attention of the reader today. In other words, to bring you 'Classic Books for a Contemporary World.'
